Jamaica Plain Open Studios

33rd Annual Jamaica Plain Open Studios, September 26th & 27th, 2026.
Mark your calendars – Online registration will open on Tuesday, May 19th at 7pm.

Welcome to Online Registration for Jamaica Plain Open Studios!

  • Please read through the online registration process instructions before registration opens as this is a several step process.  Click here for instructions.
  • We also recommend setting up your registration account (if you are new) or checking your current account password and access (for returning artists) before registration opens.
  • When registering for a group site, please be prepared to select your ideal location and provide your registration payment (payment must be made by credit card).
  • Group sites will be filled on a first-come-first-placed basis
  • Registrants can only complete one registration at a time after which they will need to log out to restart the registration process for any additional registrant(s).

We ask that individual studio, shared studio, or private shared site hold off and start registering on or after May 20th. It allows group site artists to register on May 19th with less online traffic.

Artist Registration Fees
  • JP ARTIST DISCOUNT: Artists who live, work, and/or are connected to JP receive a discounted rate. We reserve the right to deny any application.

JPOS Showing Options

Event hours for Individual/Business sites and Group Sites are Saturday 11am – 6pm and Sunday 11am – 6pm unless otherwise stated.

  • Individual Studio, Shared Studios, Private Shared Site, and Local Businesses
    • Artists showing in private spaces are still required to register.
    • If the business location you are showing at is also a JPOS sponsor, you still need to register. Sponsorship does not cover an artist’s registration.  If you do not register, you will not be listed on the map.
    • Please contact us if you are looking to either open up your outdoor space to a fellow artist or are an artist looking for available space. While we can not guarantee placement in a private studio outdoor space, we are happy to help connect you with any spaces that we may know of.
